Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Micro Style (No Retwist, No Shampoo).

Yes — we can craft intricate updos and detailed micro-loc styles without retwisting or shampooing. Styles are built on your existing loc pattern; complex looks may require extra time. Consult during booking to discuss desired look, length, and any added accessories.

Appointments typically range from 60 to 150 minutes depending on complexity, length, and density. Basic micro styles take less time; elaborate updos require more. We’ll provide an estimated duration when you book so you can plan your day accordingly.

No—this service explicitly excludes retwists and rope twists. Micro Style focuses on shaping, arranging, and styling existing locs without manipulation at the roots. If you need a retwist or particular twist technique, please book the appropriate loc maintenance service.

We recommend arriving with dry, lightly refreshed hair; washing is not included. If your locs are heavily soiled or you prefer them freshly washed, schedule a shampoo or maintenance service prior. Clean, dry locs help the stylist achieve neater, longer-lasting results.

Maintain your style by sleeping with a silk scarf or bonnet, avoiding heavy moisture, and gently smoothing flyaways. Use light oil sparingly on the scalp and avoid manipulating roots. Schedule touch-ups if you want structure refreshed without a full retwist.

Yes, extensions or added hair can be incorporated depending on the desired design and your loc health. We don’t alter root structure here though. Discuss extension type, attachment method, and any additional fees during consultation so the stylist can plan accordingly.
